jnovlan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Now I know why some flippers come with ankle straps!!!!! Lost one yesterday, so finished up in circles!! If anyone has had a similar experience and wants to sell a single flipper, am in the market. Mine is a lower end (Caddis - I believe) with laces rather than a strap. 16"(long) x 9" (widest) and fits over a wading boot. Would like to replace with one that is similar. If none out there, I may be back looking for advice re a new purchase. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the model, PM me to discuss, you can have it for free. Regards, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen this happen on a few different occasions to fellow anglers we started using safety straps (snowboard clip leashes) one end to the flipper and the working clip to your laces of your boots. Works great and easy to use provided you are using boot style fins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Add small carabineers so you don't have to un-tie your laces to get them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastBoyScout Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Almost had this happen to me. Who knew they would make float tube fins that sink, maybe its just me but that seems stupid. Unless they were hoping that might help to keep sales moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
